The Dutch airliner delivery thread

[mac]

Any known reason for both delays? Has the delay of the AKE anything to do with the fact that it was suppose to be a tankeraircraft?

No, because the mrtt is -200 only

I understood that the AKE was an airframe previously build to be a prototype for the USAF.

The to be delivered A330-200 PH-AON is the ex-KC30 prototype if I recall correctly.

Already found it on the web. The tanker one is the PH-AON. My mistake. But still, any ideas why both aircraft are delayed?
